“I have crafted a performance for this moment; soul-satisfying, grooving, and entertaining. Vivaldi’s picturesque Four Seasons delights with its imagination and familiarity. English-master Vaughn Williams envelops and elevates us, and we introduce a new musical expert in Jessie Montgomery, her music gently turns, pulses and surges,” says Music Director Christie.
